Art Under Open Skies
Root 2 Fruit Festival’s global lineup in Philadelphia

The Piece
The Story Behind the Work
Sillygoose’s The Art of Being Light rose above Philadelphia on the Cira Green rooftop, projected on the festival’s big screen as part of Root 2 Fruit’s international gallery. Big color and clean shapes set the tone: a crowned flamingo with a fan floating in a pastel field like fame from the inside, a grown-up sticker book where elegance and play hold hands. Light here is not empty. It is lift.
The Voice
“This piece explores poise as play, letting a crowned flamingo test the weight of dignity with a wink. Light and negative space carry the change, so the fan and butterflies read as quiet bravery.”— Sillygoose
The Buzz
